How do you mount a USB flash memory stick into a FreeBSD system. I am using
FreeBSD 4.9

I know how to do this in Linux, but the Linux way doesn't seem to be the BSD
way.

I inserted the stick and got told that it was da1. What I did was to edit
/etc/fstab and make this entry:-

/dev/da1    /mnt    msdos    noauto,user,umask=0    0   0

that didn't work. I got some error about Inappropriate file type or format.
Changed filetype to vfat and that didn't work either like it does in Linux.

So what is the filetype I should use?
